Would you guys consider that English cast of OGN has enough analysis or am I better off pretending I understand Korean? Also, what time do they rebroadcast the events (if they rebroadcast at all, which I'm sure they do since I caught a short amount last week)? Monte and DoA do an excellent job in casting the games. Rebroadcasts are 6PM CET and 6PM PST. I am not sure why you are concerned about analysis when you watch Korean Broadcast when you dont understand korean at all. O_o | ||

Might miss the first game of the rebroadcast but that's a good enough time for them to start for me. Oh, and I was wondering if they were more analytical or play by play because if they were play by play then I wouldn't mind not having english casts. Haven't seen much of DoA ever since he left SC2 and he was pretty good so I'm glad he's doing well in LoL too. | ||

Haven't seen much of DoA ever since he left SC2 and he was pretty good so I'm glad he's doing well in LoL too. Even though Monte and DoA have the best circumstances to work with (highest level of play), I'd say they're the best duo around. Montes analytical understanding of the mechanics of the game is probably the highest of any non-pro around and his casting is spotless. I tore DoA a new one when he started casting sc2 and never really liked his casting, however in LoL he seems to have found his style and game. The only downside is that DoA's "semi-nerd" (read: star wars and lotr) jokes can be a bit tiresome. They're definitely a treat to listen to. I'd actually LOVE it if Monte would cast some LCS games. I'd like to hear his thoughts on pick order, team comps and execution of strategies in both EU and NA. My guess would be that he tears half of them to pieces. Btw: The ogn twitch VODs are definitely worth $6/month | ||

Btw: The ogn twitch VODs are definitely worth $6/month It's $8/month for non-grandfathered accounts. Still worth it, just sayin. To me, the best thing about DoA and Monte is that they aren't afraid to be critical of the teams. I feel like LCS casters try to be too nice. In LCS you hear things like "If X happens, they could come back." in assinine situations. Meanwhile on OGN Monte will be like "Well, this game's over." The willingness to be unapologetically frank is refreshing and doesn't make me feel insulted while watching. | ||

Hearing "Unless XXX makes gigantic mistake, this game is pretty much over". League is primarily a numbers&items game. Barring certain champs with massive gold scaling, a team 10-20% ahead is incredibly far ahead, and the game is pretty much locked up. | ||

It's not a matter of analytical skill per se, but rather that they cater to different audiences. Monte explained it very nicely in his Grilled episode. I just often get a sour taste when people like to "shit" on LCS casters because of this, because they too are extremely good at what they are expected to do, just as Monte and Doa are for their audience. I'm fully aware of that. Doesn't make their awesomeness any less awesome. | ||
